Bhopal Disaster "The Relief And The Things That Have Been Done To Stop It Happening In The Future"
Man Saying That One Night In Bhopal
||~ || || December 3, 1984, in Bhopal, India. A major chemical accident happened with approximately 16,000 people died and over 500,000 people was gas exposed. 42 tonned of methyl isocynates (MIC), occured the place of Bhopal. With these kind of big human error, what can be done to stop this kind of human error happening again? || || ||
People Walking Away and Forgetting What Had Happened.
|| || To stop this happening in the future, the best way to reduce the harm caused by chemical accidents is to design plants with better safety controls that operat at lower temperature and pressures and to use and manufacture less toxic compounds, a field that is being pursued by "green" chemist and engeneers. But until toxic chemicals are routinely replaced by less harmful substitutes the emergency response procedures developed by environmental scientists and engeneers help lessen the human health and ecological effects of chemical spills and accidents. By some time of the incident, the chemical industry has worked voluntarily, to develope and implement strict safety and environmental standards to help ensure that an incident of this kind of disaster never occurs again. Even after the accident happened, Union Carbide accepted and honest responsibility for the disaster -- but even today there still arguments going on about contamination of the local environment and water supply. || ||
Think Green || Saved
|| || After the disaster, UCIL (URANIUM CORPORATION OF INDIA LIMITED) obtained a permission from the government to conduct clean-up work at the site and did so under the direction of the Indian Central and State Government authorities. However, individual members had continued doing different kinds of work in Bhopal. The victims/survivor of this tragedy, and their international support groups to continue to try for more/strive for justice. They believe that this is not the final judgement on Bhopal and are determined not to give up. In such prevention, the company had been shut down for good, and to also save money, even though the survivors did not recieved any payments for their illnesses for 20 years after the disaster. The plant/company is an abandoned factory with a day to day bleeding of poison into the underground-water. With new owners, Bhopal should take a priorities and responsibilities to pay for the clean-up process to clean-up the toxic mess. || ||
